And this isn't a sign either but you might've missed it because "that's not what you were interested in", so I stuck it in here, too, just in case...

Fun, funky and fun to make up--this one is a "staple" in my repertoire. Watermelon bracelets need no "explaining."

 A fun sign done on recycled 1/4" wood measures 6" high by 16" long. I've added an ample twine hanger that brings it to a 14-1/2" hanging height - plenty for you to shorten, if you'd like! I've "enhanced" the already aged look with sanding, after satin varnish was applied. Signed on front. Back painted flat black, with my label also applied. Allow 1# shipping wt.

 This is a wonderful BIG sign, measuring 15" wide X 10" deep X 1/4" thick, with an over all hanging length of 16-3/8". Sure would look great on the porch or patio! Bright fresh colors---lettering in light ochre, icy pale green, rind's pink. Says Chilled on ice - soooo sweet! I made this with the nice, thick old-fashioned rinds you can hardly get any more to make those scrumpdelishous "watermelon pickles" or preserves. Rind is colored in blended bands, just like the Real Thing. I left this one unsanded on edges---you can bang it up yourself through the years. Painting continues around the edges, and you can see the melon's striped bands in the photo. You'll have to look closely to see the multiple bends I purposely put in the black wire hanger. Exuberant raffia bow can be moved around anywhere you'd like it! Matte finish gives it a really fresh look and feel. Back is painted black; has my label applied. Signed Austin Originals with copyright notice is on front (done after pic. taken). Actual wt. = 14 oz.

I put this and the following similar one by each other so you can make comparisons, if this is a style you're liking. Photos were taken in the same location, same day. The weathered old board measures about 15-5/8" long x 3-1/2". It's lettered in dark red with buttermilk outlining. Flat finish. Edges sanded a bit to enhance the look. Watermelon slice measures about 9-7/8" across by 7" x 1/4". Surface e has some nice surface irregularities, stains bleeding through, and one big knot. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I found some old rusted electrician's staples and used them to wire together the top and bottom parts. I put some purposeful bends in the top wire hanger, stapled it on, too, and put some tight curlicues in the ends, for kind of a quirky decorative touch. I left everything with a matte finish, so a person can see it's weathered wood for sure!!! Slice portion is signed. Back has my label applied.
